Bah Cafe, Seri Kembangan

Bah Cafe brings beloved flavours from its founders’ home state of Sabah to Seri Kembangan: Sandakan-inspired century egg dumplings, plump with unmistakable slices of the preserved egg, plus minced pork and morsels of prawns (RM11.90), are the tasty temptation, a true treat for dumpling devotees.

Another kitchen-made speciality is yi fu, a fish paste blended with egg, soft-textured with a briny-sweetish edge (RM12.90). And since it’s Sabah we’re talking about, seafood is a highlight too; while the Klang Valley isn’t as blessed as northern Borneo for the ocean’s bounty, Bah’s seafood bee hoon makes a commendable effort to furnish fresh produce (RM13.90).

Tenom kopi-o (RM2.60) and Sabah tea (RM2.10) complete the as-close-to-authentic-as-possible experience. Bah’s crew says the cafe’s founders come from Tenom, though a language barrier raised the risk of a miscommunication.
